Is it Coco or Cocoa? Well, it’s COCO & COCOA. Our newest Pastry Stout scratches that proverbial deli itch, modeling itself after those delectable chewy chocolate-coconut macaroons. We brewed a rich, base pastry stout and conditioned it on Cacao Nibs from Vanuatu Malekula Island, Coconut and Vanilla to emulate a liquid form of that scrumptious cookie. Decadent, with lovely touches of dark chocolate, creamy vanilla, chewy coconut, and just a hit of heat at 9.5%, you’ll swear you’re waiting your turn at the counter - and we just called your number.

On tap at Radiant
A- pours black in color with a one finger foamy khaki head that reduces to a ring
S- fresh coffee, toasted coconut, chocolate, caramel, toffee, charred malt
T- sweet toasted coconut and caramel
Up front before giving way to a wave of sweet chocolate and vanilla cream. Mid-palate gives more toasted coconut and caramel: the finish gives some char with chocolate, cock it and caramel sticking around on the linger
M- medium-heavy body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns slightly creamy into a warming finish

From Good Times Oakland, canned week of February 17th 2025.
It pours a pretty darn black, small tan head of foam, okay retention, minimal lacing.
Smell is chocolate, coconut, cocoa, quite sweet, I'm getting some lactose.
Taste is not as sweet as the smell. Coconut, chocolate, cocoa, lactose, alcohol is noticeable.
Good mouthfeel, interesting Pastry Stout. A mild thumbs up.
